Wrongful Death Attorney

Las Vegas Wrongful Death Attorney

You’re dealing with a serious loss. It’s a difficult time, but it’s also a time to ensure that you and your family can continue to thrive, even with the loss of your loved one.

According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 130,000 people died from an accidental injury in 2013. Whether it was from a fall, an accidental poisoning, a motor vehicle accident, or some other type of accident, those wrongful deaths resulted in serious trauma for the families left behind.

Losing a loved one suddenly can mean a loss of income, emotional distress, and the costs of paying off the loved one’s debts and funeral expenses. It can all add up. Without compensation for that loss, the loved ones left behind may fall into debt, adding even more distress to an already-difficult situation.

But even though it was an accident, you may have reason to seek compensation.

Types of Wrongful Death Claims

Wrongful death cases stem from any situation in which a person or organization could have reasonably prevented the death. In a motor vehicle, a driver may hit a pedestrian or bicyclist as a result of being distracted by texting or talking on the phone – a common occurrence in the age of smart phones. In the workplace, a person might slip and fall on a wet floor that’s not marked with a wet floor sign. Other types of unsafe working conditions can also cause wrongful death. In the medical field, a wrongful death might occur as a result of a doctor who prescribed the wrong medication or ignored a patient’s serious symptoms. Those are just examples, and there are many other cases in which a wrongful death claim may be appropriate.
